Community of Scholars Day

Community of Scholars Day honors inquiry, research, and scholarship at Lesley University. All members of the Lesley community are invited to participate in a day that focuses attention on scholarship in various stages of development.

Celebrate the many facets of research that are evident in the endeavors of Lesley students, faculty, and alumni working as artists, activists, innovators, teachers, scholars, and citizens. The day’s agenda will include presentations and poster sessions.

Theme: Work in Progress

The overarching theme for this year's Community of Scholars Day is Work in Progress. The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship (CTLS) planning committee chose this theme to reflect the many stages of scholarship that are evident in our work as artists, teachers, innovators, activists, researchers, and citizens. It is this diverse approach to, and appreciation of, scholarship that energizes our learning community. It is this approach to our respective studies that elevates an emphasis on process above product.

In previous years, proposals have inspired themes for sessions, such as: Creative Process, Advocacy, Diversity and Culture, Environment and Ecology, Teaching and Learning, Performance and Media, Humanities, Social Science, Expressive and Arts Therapies
